So Jacob is officially weaned. Since Sunday he has had nothing but bottles! Sunday morning he woke up and I tried to nurse but nothing was coming out. Letdown wouldn’t start and I couldn’t even get a single drop out, so I made him a bottle, which he drank. He took it so I tried another bottle for his next feed and he drank that too. By evening, he had drunk only bottles and he was content and happy. That night, he ate at 5:00 and slept until 2:00. I was ecstatic. He also started pooping regularly again. I am so happy. My baby is full, he is sleeping well, he is eating well, he is gaining weight, he is peeing(was previously only having about 4 wet diapers a day. Doctors and Nurses like to see at least 6-8) and pooping well! After spending a month worrying, stressing, feeling guilty, and fighting with Jacob almost every feed, it’s nice to have all that behind us. Thank you Enfamil!
And the other day I walked around the corner to see this:
(I rotated it, but it didn’t take. Sometimes that happens)

That’s awesome. Does that mean I get to feed him at Christmas?
